We will build nonverbal communication skills, expressive movement ability, and grounding/centering movements. This course will take your dancing up to the next level and help you have the most fantastic night possible. Kinetic Monkey is a Certified Laban/Bartenieff Movement Analyst, Dancer, Clown, and a member of the Hofmann Drive, a psy-downtempo project in Austin, TX.

And we aint gonna stop till fo' in the moanin!

Gather with us to celebrate the Yule time of year, as we pay homage to the many different traditions, faiths, and holidays that make our world culture whole. Peace and unity prevail when we join together and rejoice in life and celebrate its continuity! All are invited to share in the joy with us as our feet stomp to the tune of togetherness and our souls reunite. This will be a special celebration, in that it will be a home coming for Greg, returning to the romping grounds of past, and yet at the same time it will be a going away party, as it will be his last U.S. date before moving on to Europe for an extended tour. So don't miss your last chance to see what many hail as one of America's best live Psy acts.

Without Further ado, the Lineup:

Ghreg on Earth - San Francsco, CA
Longtime veteran in the scene, Ghreg has been making music happen for over twenty years. Starting his early career with residencies @ the Icon (Tulsa, OK) and the RecRoom (OKC) and a regular in the the Oldschool Dallas Rave scene, Ghreg has moved on to many more projects as a DJ, A & R Manager, and A Producer. He has been hailed by some as one of the North America's best live psy projects. His creative and ingenuous sonic wizardry is a must see for any psy fan, as anybody who went to Aum already can attest to. So don't miss your last chance to see Ghreg on Earth before he pulls up stakes and takes it across the pond.

& DJ's!
Khove (San Fran)
Demonic (Tulsa)
Balance (Tulsa)
Kudos (Tulsa)
Such n Such (Tulsa)

Directions to Hog Ridge Hollow

From I-540 take the 6th street exit (#62) EAST twords fayetteville until it turns to highway 16. stay on 16 east through elkins and durham (and be careful these are small towns with bored police officers, so dont go bumping your music, speeding, etc, just keep your wits about you and your fine) once you reach durham keep your eyes peeled on the right for hog ridge hollow its a gravel road going up a steep hill right past the cemetary. there will be a sign but its easy to miss so pay attention. turn right at the sign then go down the road staying left at both forks. look for the gate approx 1.5 miles from the road. follow the dugga dugga dugga after that = ]

no glass containers, pets, drugs, fireworks, weapons of mass destruction, etc etc

water and some food will be vended but bring everything else you need to camp out under the stars. the weather in the wee mornin can get chilly so dont forget warm clothes as well as your summer threads for the hot daylight hours. you all know the drill.

drive safe and I'll see you at spectra!

Goan Inpsyde: an intimate psychedlic gathering in KC

2007-11-27T05:15:13Z

Hey friends!
I posted this in MW Psy tribe but I wanted to post it here because we'd especially love it if you guys could make it up to jam with us. We never see ya'll outside of festivals and big events. Definitely understand if it's too long of a drive for a house party....

Anyway, here's the info:

Now that cold weather is here, the festival season is over. But that doesn't mean the end of good times and connective gatherings. The heads around Kansas City are getting together at AaronRecyles' house on the evening of December 8 for a cozy house party. We want to enjoy good music, jam together, and throw around plans for future happenings. We hope this smaller gathering will be a good opportunity to get to know each other better.

There is a lot of space for dancing and pow-wowing. We'd love to see old friends and meet new characters. There's also plenty of crash space but bring air mattresses and bedding.

We'll be pumping the choons all night long. If you're a DJ or musical artist and want to play, let me know as soon as possible. We'll probably have an informal flexible line-up.

For directions, hit me up privately.

Hope to see ya'll out here!

Crashing after the show...

2007-10-30T12:04:14Z

Howdy yall, its the T-town brother here calling for a little help. You see I'm gonna try to make it to the crystal method show in a couple weeks, and given the 2 hour drive back to Tulsa, and the fact that there is a pretty good chance I'll be intoxicated after the party, I'm wondering... Is there anyone who would be so generous as to open their home to me? I don't require much, just a nice comfy floor, and perhaps a couple glasses of water. I am willing to entertain by telling stories of my travels to distant lands, and various journeys, or performing sexual favors(HAH! Just kiddin on that one), or I could just pass the fuck out and come home the next morning.

In any case, if anyone is willing to help a brother out send me a message or reply to this message. Thanky!
-Allen

This is the first mix ive recorded in well over a year. It is suited for that time of morning just as the first rays of sun are begining to break the horrizon. The mix builds from minimal full on, with ever increasing melodies and basslines untill a climatic finish with a gentle let down at the end.
I hope you enjoy this, as this mix is deeply personal for me, as a dear family member passed away while i was recording it. As a result, its a live recording, with no redos, or studio editing. I felt that i wanted to capture that moment, and preserve it just as it was... thus making this mix all the more special and personal....

For those that may not know me, Im a full on dj based in S.W, Missouri, so im in your neck of the woods

I welcome any comments or criticisms

Trance Dance: Are You Ready for Some Ecstasy?

William McGillis

To the universe belongs the dancer.
Whoever does not dance does not know what happens.
- Jesus, from the 2nd-century Gnostic text The Acts of John

Dancers Modern and Ancient

It is a gray, cloudy Sunday morning in twenty-first century Portland, Oregon. Thirty adults of various shapes and sizes are dancing around a large room that overlooks the city from a fifth-floor height. A tribal, electronic beat bounces insistently off the high walls and shiny hardwood floor. Three lush tropical plants, a small potted tree, and a seated stone Buddha congregate in one far corner. Two dancers dart back and forth like headless chickens, while a small group across the room moves together gracefully like geese flying in the sky. An impassioned middle-aged woman shakes her pelvis furiously, while across the room a young male newcomer vibrates his lanky body in a move you’d expect from a break-dancing serpent. The dancers each move in their own manner, in their own rhythm. Yet viewed from above one can perceive a pattern that connects them all to some larger choreography.
It is a time of celebration and healing for the Kalahari Bushmen people in ancient Africa. The moon is dark tonight, but the heavens are not. The dome of the sky scintillates with a thousand flickering stars. Booming drums resound through the archaic night; the ceremony has begun. The tribe will dance around the towering fire until the sun returns from its sleep. Two warriors shake spastically, their faces solemn, yet blissful. A young girl makes ornate, sweeping gesticulations with her hands and chants a hypnotic pattern of three ethereal notes. Walking among the assembled crowd, a venerable elder lays his tingling hands on those in need of healing. The dancers are not following formal steps, but are willingly opening themselves to the unpredictable spirits of life. Their whirling bodies are portals to the sacred world of ecstasy.
Both the modern and ancient dancers shake in sometimes gentle, sometimes frenzied movements. Burning through the veil of ordinary life and consciousness, they climb the ropes to the heavens to communicate with their ancestors and guiding spirits. Participants in this most primordial of rituals feel powerful waves of energy pulsate throughout their minds and bodies. Convulsing in paroxysms of delight, they touch each other to share precious healing vibrations and to restore balance to the world. Their awareness soars and expands. They see visions of both terrible and beautiful spiritual beings. In the full throes of ecstatic trance - part of the human birthright - they see beyond common appearances into the iridescent essence of life. Their mystical experiences occur in a realm language and thought cannot touch. And what the outside observer might call demonic possession is for them the influx of rapturous life energy and blessed spirits.
Though unknown to most Americans, trance dance practices from the oldest extant cultures in the world might be timely medicine for our lost modern tribe. Trance dance, in which the body can shake and convulse almost uncontrollably, offers the contemporary seeker a natural experience of bliss, connection, and healing with a force that few other activities can. For some, trance suggests a frightening state of mind in which a person does not have control. Going into trance does involve leaving one’s ordinary state of mind, but this is a passage dancers welcome as a necessary precursor to uncovering an abundant state of awareness and knowledge. Trance itself is a meditative state in which the mind attunes to a flow of images, feelings, and sensations that is ordinarily blocked from consciousness. Many people experience light trance in the form of daydreaming or concentrating single-mindedly on one activity such as gardening or exercise. But few realize that in heavy trance lies a realm of experience essential to human well being, yet mysteriously absent from mainstream religion, psychology and culture.

All The World’s A Dance Floor

While William Shakespeare told us that “All the world’s a stage,” he just as easily could have said that all the world is a dance floor. Indeed, the world whirls, shimmies, crawls, flows, and prances along its way. Hives, electrons, geese, blood, grass, quasars, schools of zebra fish, nervous tics, and orange-yellow mountain chickens - everything moves in cosmic choreography. The world within and without is not as solid as we think. We humans, along with everything else known in the universe, are temporary energy forms in perpetual motion. We meet, love, hate, join and separate. Relationships, daily habits, and patterns of thinking and activity get shaken up again and again only to come back together in different form. And these cycles of creation, motion, and dissolution certainly didn’t start in the 21st century.
In ancient times almost everyone danced and sang. In the Greek epic The Iliad, Homer mentions the chorea, or circular choral dance, from which we get the concept of choreography. The ancient Greeks honored many gods through assorted choral and frenzied dance rituals, including the god of ecstasy, Dionysus. In medieval Europe English people danced around the maypole to celebrate the coming of spring and the fertility of the earth. The middle Ages also saw several outbreaks of ecstatic dance manias affecting entire villages, in which dancers shook and jumped for hours until they collapsed. Just a continent away from all this excitement, whirling dervishes of the Sufi sect danced themselves into euphoria and Pygmy peoples connected with their forest home through evocative animal dances.

The Author Gets His Groove

Despite my persistent efforts, I’ve always been terrible at standard social dances. No matter whom the teacher or what the method, I simply have not been able to get the steps down. I’ve taken over ten Salsa dance classes, but have never been able to master even the simplest of patterns. I believed that I had little rhythm, and often saw others smiling at my tentative, jagged motions as they glided along as smoothly as Michael Jackson doing the moonwalk. But at improvisational dance classes I could leap and shake and express myself any way my body wanted with no fixed rules. Crazy and spasmodic worked just as well as smooth, sensuous and graceful.
When I lived in Portland I began attending improvisational dance classes at a downtown studio called Bodymoves. The teacher, a handsome, mercurial man named Vinn Marti, would play different pieces of music with distinct sounds, beats, melodies and tempos. Dancers would experience and respond to the pieces with improvised movements. Marti taught the 5 Rhythms® system, developed by improvisational dance teacher Gabrielle Roth. According to Roth, these five rhythms encompass all ways of feeling and experiencing life.
"I work with five rhythms: flowing, staccato, chaos, lyrical and stillness," says Roth. "Each one is a whole world. The five rhythms are a map to everywhere you might want to go, on every plain of consciousness. They are physically, emotionally, intellectually inner worlds, outer worlds, future worlds, past worlds. They are markers on the way back to a very real self, a very vulnerable, wild, passionate, instinctive self."
For someone who is extremely verbal and cerebral like me, the opportunity to feel and express different rhythms of life through movement was a new and exciting world, an initiation into the knowledge and pain and passionate wisdom of the body. I loved the spontaneity of this form of dance, the lack of external standards to which I had to conform, and the wonderful peculiarity of unexpected movements waiting to come out of me. Beneath the façade of a normal, socially acceptable self were antelope-like leaps and vehement gyrations, perhaps the workings of a mad Paleolithic dancer long dormant inside my psyche.
The improvisational dance class provided the safe space for me to move as I wanted to move, without fear of an unsympathetic crowd judging or mocking me. I didn’t have to work hard to act normal or try to make a good impression. "Most of the physical paths available to us have to do with controlling the body," Roth notes. "My path is surrender. That way you can explore the promise of your own beauty in your own terms - allowing yourself to unfold, vs. bending and twisting into somebody else's concept of what you are supposed to look like, who you're supposed to be." I had never experienced anything like this class before; I felt like all parts of me were welcome there, even the quirks I usually concealed. Thirty adults were consciously moving in strange ways: sometimes smooth, sometimes jerky, but always somehow beautiful. From the first time I encountered this scene I loved it and knew I had found my home in the world of dance.
Over the last two years in Minneapolis, I have also participated in several sessions of a form of improvisational trance dance pioneered by Wilbert Alix in which participants are blindfolded. Wearing the blindfold allows people to let go of inhibitions they may have about how they appear to others. The purpose of this dance assuredly isn’t to look good or attract a sexy mate. I found it a relief to wear the blindfold. In our culture our eyes are over stimulated and overworked. Looking into the dark blindfold allowed me to rest my eyes and relax my ceaselessly thinking mind. Wearing the blindfold in this dance enabled me to smell more, hear more, and most importantly, to connect with my inner proprioceptive sense, how it feels to be a body in space.
In this ritualized form of expression, dancers have an intention for the night, such as “family healing,” “opening to love,” or “relief for my aching back.” Participants hope and trust that the dance will help them awaken a source of healing, perspective, and wisdom related to their intention. The music is loud techno and world-electronic music with a heavy and steady beat. Classic performers in this genre include Professor Trance, Gabrielle Roth and the Mirrors, Deep Forest, Brainscapes, and Trans Global Underground. But Alix says that for millennia, the background music for dancing ceremonies focused upon various organic materials, especially the ceaseless, driving beat of the drum.
"Trance music does not come from a single location," according to Alix, "but is more of a cross-cultural phenomenon. Every continent on this planet has their unique forms of trance music. Currently trance music takes on many forms, from early indigenous (organic) sounds derived from using 'natural' instruments such as wood and animal skins used to make drums, to contemporary (electronic) sounds generated with computer technology."
The effect of dancing to music with heavy, driving beat is magnified by doing the “breath of fire” exercise, which is similar to meditative pranayama practices found in several traditions of Indian yoga. This technique consists of inhaling and exhaling loudly and rapidly for several minutes. The rapid breathing helps the dancer leave her ordinary consciousness and thought stream in order to enter the more fluid unknown territory of the body and the inner life.
Trance dance is a form of moving meditation that can lead to deep experiences of peace and even altered states of consciousness. While sitting meditation is of great psychological and spiritual value, the trance dance modality might be more accessible for the restless, rapid American mindset. Paradoxically, allowing the body to shake and move as it will can lead to profound states of inner stillness and relaxation. States of deep, trance absorption can provide remarkable insight into one’s emotional concerns as well as a tremendous sense of physical and psychological rejuvenation.
And what may seem odd to the 21st century American might be considered normal to her ancestor. In his book Shaman’s Body, Jungian psychologist Arnold Mindell points out that shamans around the world believe that we can only activate our deepest powers of intuition and healing by becoming aware of the most subtle sensations and fantasies connected with our bodies. Not surprisingly, American culture is focused on the external and very few people are encouraged to connect with their inner flow of bodily fantasies and sensations. Most Americans will do almost anything but feel and move with what is inside of them.
Bradford Keeney, noted psychologist and explorer of indigenous healing practices, has written extensively of the historical and cross-cultural phenomenon of ecstatic dancing for purposes of healing. According to Keeney, it is striking that something so central to the human experience is practiced so infrequently in modern America. He notes that most Americans do not realize the significant role dance and trance have played in most human cultures of the last several millennia. In his book Shaking Out the Spirits, he explores the centrality of bodily shaking and improvisational movement in various spiritual and healing contexts around the world past and present: those of the seiki healers of Japan, contemporary Lakota shamanic practitioners, American Shakers and Quakers of the 19th century, and Zulu tribal healers ancient and modern, among others.
Keeney believes that modern Americans can benefit greatly from this ancient practice. He observes that shaking forms of dance help people connect with sensations in their bodies, release suppressed emotions held within their musculature, and open to the joyous flow of energy that pervades all of life. Bradford Keeney suggests that these dances are not some easily dismissed primitive mumbo-jumbo, but rather doorways into meaningful psycho-spiritual experience. And for some reason, people in modern society receive minimal social support to experience and express their feelings of excitement and joy.
"The great taboo in our culture," says Keeney, "has nothing to do with sex, drugs, or controversial theater – it's ecstatic experience. It's an experience that's been known by mystics of all cultural persuasions, and when you're in it, your body begins to shake and tremble. That finally leads to the desire to express oneself, and there, words just can't hold the great feeling."
When a person is in the rhythmic flow of the dance, she is no longer so concerned with names and labels but rather is aware of an overarching, pervasive feeling or wave running through everything. Trance dance empties the garbage cans of the mind, helps cultivate intuitive and instinctual modes of knowing, and clears the space for sacramental perception and vision. This kenosis, or inner emptying, is a precursor to deep spiritual understanding, but is understandably threatening to many modern people who are accustomed filling their days with noise, activities, and a busy schedule of tasks to accomplish.
Many modern Americans have a great hunger for spiritual knowledge and altered states of consciousness, but are not sure how to pursue this desire in a safe and natural way. In order to satisfy this urge to touch something transcendent or non-material, many people use alcohol and drugs, while some others turn to established religious traditions, hoping to connect with something beyond the human and experience a kind of divine intoxication. Still others eat to alter their mood or throw themselves only more doggedly into buying new things or following the latest developments of popular culture. All these activities can work to either transfix or distract, but may not allow seekers to realize that the true source of ecstasy does not lie outside them.
In order to feel at ease, many Americans need some kind of external stimulation or distraction, whether it is music, television, or social interaction. The cynic might say that most Americans prefer taking pills, being passively entertained, and distracting themselves in countless other ways to nakedly encountering themselves and getting a direct connection to the world of spirit. But deep down everybody has the urge and the ability to experience natural ecstasy through movement and palpably connect with a power of great healing and love. Trance dance is a healthy, simple, and effective way to taste and touch of spirit world, what the indigenous of Australia call the Dreamtime. The world of the dream and of the spirit, say the Aborigines and countless other tribal peoples, is a precious source of healing, inspiration, and nourishment for human beings.
I was in serious need of some of this healing and inspiration last winter. I was feeling anxious, depressed, and generally out of sorts. The conventional ways of dealing with my frustrations weren’t working for me, so one frosty Wednesday night in February I made my way to the upper floor of Stonehenge Books in Minneapolis for a trance dance session. At the time I hadn’t participated in a group dance for over a year and was wondering what I had been missing. I had moved and shaken a bit on my own in the confines of my small apartment, but hadn’t lost myself in the experience as it is often possible to do in the safe and structured class environment. Part of me didn’t want to go that night, though. The temperature was well under freezing and I was exhausted from my day of teaching high school students. I was not enthused about the prospect of bundling up and facing the frigid, windy night. Surfing the internet and sitting inside my warm apartment seemed much more appealing than trying to find the energy to dance for an hour. After a few minutes of internal battling, my instinct for a new experience won over and I left home in search of something fresh and vital.
In addition to the facilitator, Terry Christiansen, there were four other dancers there that night. After Terry explained the different elements of the dance—intention, trust, darkness, and breath—and recited an inspired poem by the Sufi poet Hafiz, we tied bandanas around our eyes and the music began. After a period of rapid breathing, I started to move. I moved tentatively at first, but then began rocking and shaking with no small measure of abandon. I’m not sure what it looked like from the outside, but to me my movements felt like a combination of jumping jacks, epileptic seizure, and the double spins executed by Olympic figure skaters. Terry was there, without a blindfold, to make sure we didn’t kick each other in the head while doing a twirl or accidentally dance our way through the large window that overlooked busy Hennepin Avenue below.
For a few minutes I forgot where I was and why I was there. I entered what Zen Buddhists call the realm of no-mind. I was so lost in the dance that my thinking mind relaxed its ceaseless flurry and I let my body and spirit lead. Without conscious intention or decision my feet stomped and hips shook. I howled and moaned, and made my way cyclically through different intensities of motion: chaotic, lyrical, choppy, and still. Terry had explained earlier that stillness is also part of a dance. For three separate intervals, I made my way to the floor to lie quietly and rock in subtle motion, only to quickly rise again to find another rhythmic pattern. The highlight of the night was the sense of vitality I felt in my body throughout and after the dance. Tired from school and my winter routine, I had forgotten how much energy, passion, and feeling was inside of me waiting to come out.
By the time Terry invited us to lay down and finish the dance I was in a mild trance state. My sense of self felt bigger and deeper than the thoughts about my day. My heart felt tender and open. Rivers of feeling - joy, sadness, delight, and gratitude - flowed through me. I felt more peaceful than I had in weeks. The dance had allowed me to unearth reserves of energy and happiness that seemed essential, even though I had been living without them. And not insignificantly, the dance was fun; I felt like a child outside of time, lost in a world of freedom and play. At first it seemed like work to breathe hard and move, but minutes into the process I couldn’t help but laugh as I vigorously and spasmodically moved my head, hands and feet. Afterwards, I walked out into the freezing night with a spring in my step. The trees looked more alive and I felt more a part of everything. I slept deeply that night.

Let’s Dance

Who knows what crazy, wondrous raw or subtle movements lay inside of us waiting to come out? Without words we can express so much, if we would only move in congruence with our bodies. In such a case, that which is hidden springs forth: the beauty, sadness, vulnerability, and freedom of our souls. The dance flows best when there is little or no self-consciousness and the person has found their unique flow. It is then as if some force of rhythm or beat from beyond is moving through them. We have so many different partners that we move through and with: our angels, our neuroses, our lovers, our enemies, our friends, people we don’t know, and Protean spirits that were forgotten long ago and covered up with concrete or drowned out in the drone of man-made device.
I have a dream. That Americans begin to regularly move and shake, sometimes alone and sometime together. I believe that intentional movement can bring us together and enable us to awaken our compassionate hearts and galvanize our potential to take constructive action in the world. I envision a simultaneous loosening and intensification of individual and communal life through simple, natural, and powerful forms of ecstatic dance.
But why is it so difficult to let the body shake and express itself? What is the resistance? Undeniably, there are deeply entrenched religious and cultural fears and taboos about unleashing the body electric. As Western Europeans colonized Africa and the Americas, they banned the drum and ceremonies of ecstatic dance and denounced such practices as indecent and devilish. Deep in our cultural structure and conditioning are severe prohibitions against unbridled experiences of bodily rhythm and inhibitions about freely expressing ourselves through movement. There is minimal social support for the ecstatic dancing experience, consuming alcohol at a local club notwithstanding.
We also fear entering deeply into the realm of the dance because it removes us from the societal standard of normality and compels us to investigate and take seriously our own unique experiences, feelings, and perceptions. A trance dancer is compelled to follow her inner beat, which may not be the beat of the mainstream culture. Furthermore, human beings like to feel as though they are in control. Cultures that possess advanced technology and conveniences are especially invested in the notion that they can control life with their minds. Immersing yourself in the domain of trance dance necessarily involves a loss of conscious, ego control and a surrender to something that is not easily understood or quantifiable. We modern Americans try to control most aspects of our lives and are threatened by an experience that can, literally, shake up our preconceptions about the nature of self and life.
The phenomenon and suppression of ecstatic dance rites in history and modern culture would be merely a curious side note did it not strike at the core of several of the most significant concerns of our times. In short, repressed and restricted movement is dangerous, for it can be a symptom and a cause of denied pain and feeling and a reduced capacity to imagine and love. There is a striking connection between the mind and the body; we hold tensions, memories, and emotional wounds in our body. As any practitioner of yoga will attest, engaging in different physical poses and stretching the muscles and tendons leads to a more supple and open mind. A body that tries to control its movements so it looks normal and controlled from the outside is not a happy body. Most people in the United States repress their bodily movements and inner bodily sensations. In doing so, they reduce their capacity for deep feeling, clear awareness, joy and even love.
Trance dancing is important now because our culture is at a deadly crossroads of possibility, a moment the Greeks might call kairos. Despite advanced technology and increased ability to manipulate the environment at the macro and micro levels, we humans still have trouble living in peace and balance. An increase in conveniences has not led to increased amounts of wisdom and compassionate action. In a fast-paced, highly structured society, people have lost touch with their biological roots and are not always able to act in ways that best build supportive and sustainable community. Not that trance dance will solve all the world’s problems, but it can help cultivate deep connection to life, the earth, and reservoirs of peace within us. The dance can help us ignite something simple but valuable: fresh, vast perception and a strong, open heart. Sometimes we look for complicated, expensive, or exotic solutions to our sense of unease or duress. But perhaps our humble, stressed, often neglected bodies, right here and now, provide us with great opportunity for spiritual and psychological renewal.
So try it. When no one is looking, close your blinds or shut your office door. Shake your hands and feet or contort your eyebrows. Bounce up and down. Move any way you want--no rules. Kick some Mr. Miyagi style karate kicks. Perform a pirouette. Let your wrist flap like a flag. Forget for a few minutes what your judgmental mind has to say and listen to your body. Yes, listen to it. What does it feel? What does it want? What is it saying? Move the way your tender, divine body wants to move. And when you are ready, take it to the streets.

Discuss this event @ http://forum.chilluminati.org/./index.php/topic,1876.0.html
Get on the mailing list @ http://www.chilluminati.org/contacts/

The Chilluminati are in our third year of Illinois outdoor psytrance under the Secret Fire banner. The Fire dances in the psychedelic sonic landscapes we create.

Our music is dusk to dawn and beyond, both Trance and Chill/Psyambient, and takes place on one stage. Trance is Dance. Chill is melodic and softer, and creates a relaxing and peaceful mood. Chill . . . is . . . Psyambient, Downtempo, IDM, Ambient, Techno, Dub, Breaks, World, and Future Sound. The tempo we will play will change by Time of Day . . . following an Arc of Intention toward a crescendo of psychedelic madness, then back down to the morning light.

Our projection art is visual semiotics; a re-interpretation of experienced symbols and color, cast through the artist's vision and refracted as a calligraphy of light. Our deco creates the space and the corridors for the participants' own life ritual, our life as we pass through the flames of rebirth.

We are an Intentional Community, meaning that everyone is an Artist and Active Participant, not spectators. Our events are clean and based on Respect and creating a more beautiful life for each participant.

Facehead ~ Anomalistic/Geomagnetic.tv, Pennsylvania
Chuck Looper (AKA FaceHead), is one of those "saved by psy-trance" stories. Shortly after breaking free from a tarnished past a friend took him to his first psychedelic event in 2002. It changed his life. Since 1998 Chuck had been djing and producing his own blend of noisy experimental electronic music. After that first party, he went home and immediately started working on his first psy track. Since then it has been an obsession. Constantly searching for the most unique and bizarre sounds, FaceHead brings a style all his own that will leave you stomping away with question marks over your heads. You can expect dark and full-on with a wide variety of influences. Look for upcoming releases on Geomagnetic and Anomalistic.

Primordial Ooze ~ Divine Balance Records, Chicago
The Primordial Ooze project was created by DJ's Kaiser Soze and S.O.T. as an experiment in genetic sound programming and nano-acoustic engineering. Self-replicating and mutating algorithms, swarms of frequencies that collaborate, breed and communicate, flourish in an environment of artificial selection and continual evolution. Currently working on two albums this energetic live act is continuously expanding their farm of pet-frequencies with various sonic creatures. These lively pets can cause serious mayhem on the dancefloor! But with properly tied shoes, participants are generally safe and happy.

AUDIO DJ SETS
Dave Henshaw ~ Changmian/Sonic Beating Productions, Boston
Dave recently pre-ordered a Jason Varitek action figure and spent too much on shipping. He threw away his cell phone two years ago and now prefers endmills to emails. He has a profound appreciation for the music of Iboga Records and the city of Boston. Two ninjas guard his two prized jade plants and his one pair of sox. He bleeds deep red. People usually smile when they hear his name and say, 'Dave? He’s like 75% baseball fanatic, 50% philosophy-geek, and 99% percent PROG-HEAD.' (Not all his friends failed high-school math, though.)

Professor X ~ Trance Psyndicate, Illinois
Professor X started djing electronic music in 1998 when he was going to one of the top audio schools in the country, and started DJ'ing in Orlando, Florida, playing at bigger clubs like Hard Rock Live and The Groove. Soon after meeting DJ Zero Six in his hometown in Illinois, he discovered psytrance and became a core element of the Trancepsyndicate. He has played at parties such as the Cosmic Outset, Earthdance, and the Apsylum for the Unsane.

Derby ~ T.O.U.C.H Samadhi, Chicago
After traveling around Europe collecting vinyl, Derby was introduced to the melodic and twisting sounds of psychedelic trance. Later he met up with Kri and became a member of Asheville NC's TOUCH Samadhi. One day Derby woke up in Chicago, IL. Now he is a prime psytrance vector, infecting the Midwest with his sound. Through international mail-order, Derby constantly updates his collection of morphing multi-layered psychedelic trance. In love with the music and the dance floor, Derby delivers the sounds and energy to the ears and minds of those "tuned in" and "turned on".

Mr. Roboto ~ Trance Psyndicate, Chicago
Robert Houchin aka Mr. Roboto is a force majeure to full-on morning trance. Starting out in various garage bands, he yearned for something more. Something crunchy. When he stumbled upon the Trance Psyndicate in their underground bomb shelter sessions, he immediately knew where he wanted to take his music. Originally from a one-horse town in central Illinois, he now resides in big-ass Chicago, and has been rumored to be working on original material in the studio.

KT ~ T.O.U.C.H Samadhi, Chicago
Poised mischievously between Light and Dark, KT toys with full-on midnight mayhem while beckoning the melodic morning to come closer. She intertwines the energetic edge of the night with the uplifting beauty of the daylight-pulsing one into the other-and weaving the two into an intricate dance of celestial balance in order to create the soundtrack of your psychedelic life.

CHILL
Robyo ~ Audiognomes, Rockford
Robyo was born and raised on the wrong side of the tracks in badass Rockford, where he played bass in several well-known punk and hardcore bands. At the age of 21 he moved to Oregon state and discovered electronica. While in the Pacific Northwest, he learned to play the djembe and didjeridoo, but now he is back in the Midwest with a vengeance. Robyo's style is analogous to the ocean's tides where tempo, density and color sway though time and a divine oscillating influence. An avid fan of psychedelic production techniques, he prefers tribal, dub, ambient and trance soundscapes.

Damon ~ Divine Balance Records/Chillumafia, Poland
Listening to music is never enough. Damon continues to slather you within a seamless intervention of psymbient, downtempo, dub & world music. Within his love of melody & tribal elements he dives into all timelines, releasing a blend of articulately chosen worldly sounds. Listening to music is never enough.

Kent Vogel ~ Trance Psyndicate, Bloomington-Normal, Illinois
With over a decade of mixing experience, Kent Vogel has defined a very unique style of uptempo chillout which is a perfect compliment to psychedelic culture. Having been involved in the electronic music scene for many years, it was only a matter of time before his presence would be made known within the Trance Psyndicate and to The Chilluminati. Soon, the entire planet will feel his chill iron grip, squeezing HARD . . .

SONIC SADHANA - Yidam and Shai ~ Divine Balance Records, India
*** Experimental Sound Healing Set ***
Trained since she was a girl by the Bene Gesserit sisterhood, Shai is now a DJ, medical and Ayurvedic doctor, producer and founder of the Divine Balance label. Her Indian fusion electronica is changing the planet. Her beats pry your Third Eye open with a sonic crowbar. Boom shanti!
Yidam... Recently returned from India, Chillumafia don charsibaba's sound is about BALANCE. Mixing beatless atmospheric music and glitchy IDM, he creates space and time that transcends thump. Integrating organic instruments into the mix adds a live element to his music which is specifically used to send listeners on one long float through the stratosphere.

VIDEO/INTERACTIVE
For the first time... Psymbolic and Mason Dixon will be collaborating live visually. These aesthetic developers are major VJ/Visual scene cultivators, visual curators of past Entheon events, and organizers of the annual multi-day Chicago Motion Graphics Festival. They have a dual display setup in design and will be working with Natural/Designed/Hybrid visual elements.

*Psymbolic*
Live Interactive Visual Environments
This catalytic duo (Julee & Troy) create Live Interactive Visual Environments. Since 1999, they have become large-scale A/V event curators and they continue to push their means of expression through their video compositions and the real-time surrounding spectacles. Psymbolic is always providing a customized thematic projection / performance of synchronous moments of meaning and inspiration.

*VJ Mason Dixon*
Mason Dixon aims to reawaken a sense of wonder about one's environment. The goal is to revitalize the viewer's perception and attention to detail. No hidden meanings, Just reaction, contemplation and a search for meaning. The reflection will reveal your personality and the nature of your sensibilities.

DECO
microcosm ~ microcosm muse productions. audiognomes, chilluminati
one dimensional deco

Dimitry ~ Chicago
Bringing the global to the local - Dimitry distills the essence of magic in his chill installations at Chilluminati events.

Spyder ~ Dream Assilem, Peoria
Discovered causing a ruckus amongst the townsfolk, Melissa Schlesinger is the class clown who’s lost her class. Once found lying on a futon in a giggling mess after having had a can-can conundrum on a stool in a dorm room, she could later be seen balancing the stool on her face while doing the hokey pokey. But is that really what it’s all about? She says, no. Juggling, theatrics, artistry, and design, among other things; that’s what it’s really all about. The strange creature you may see burning atop the bonfire is the product of her imagination, and the strange creature you may see juggling fire, and causing a ruckus amongst the townsfolk, is the Spyder herself.

First Dose in the Northern Rockies

2007-05-08T05:36:31Z

Just wanted to share with any of those REALLY into the cross pollination thing...... Fatty Acid will be performing in his passed down neo-shamanic deredeprogrammed style..... ie 4 am until the dancing stops.....and OH YEAH PhuturePrimitive, aka Telepathik, is playing a hybrid dub/trance set before me.......

plantin the good seeds.....come see em sprout

Three Way Mirror Productions is the name.....and I'm going so far as to make it an LLC....and if you know me, or can just for one second imagine a scenario..... experiencing world class, international music in a place I love is becoming higher, not lower, on my priorities....... Music is THE drug, and anybody who argues really needs to be tricked (somehow?dereprogramming, subliminal, truly psychedelic SOUND should be enough....it certainly suits me better than even the finest beer, or pure grain alchohol, as we do it where goanecks CAME FROM), and do plan on LIVING in the West for the foreseeable future because it IS different here out here...montana's more like home than the coast, but it seems like all this very poor state lives, by and large,one happy fuckin life, in their own way..maybe it's the altitude, or maybe it's the intention of the people who live in and run the town and increasingly a state experiencing global warming at a blink of an eye pace to stay here, as long as the sun shines.....but I never actually leave people or places I love..... and I love yall cause we don't have to talk to communicate.... we just put our minds together with more positivity than I see anywhere else I've ever been....and who knows.....maybe something like a five-day dance festival will take place. AUM is a GREAT dream we can help make a WONDERFUL reality.....and very good minds, with no intention but opening others minds with thought and communal dance (essentially....until you get the whhhhhhhhooooops wrong track.....and then.....well, we all know what that is......I'll call it the sweet meat, others have been being serious and tried to point out a glitch in the matrix......

if you read between the lines, theres something better than my word that Esoteric Generation and Three Way Mirrors are part of the same tree..... lets all hope this summer brings the flowers out, and that they get all the sunshine they need to carry,at least my ass in Montana, through the winter....who knows, maybe I'll have to start makin one off visits and not just drink it away on cheap beer and dry tobbaco(seriously though....smokers, bring about the change, get fresh rollies by buying them and making retailers restock)..cheaper, deadlier, scarier...and I know better than anyone that to get over that fear is a harder and harder thing to get over the more you think about it.)...maybe I'll bring friends....with laptops

LOVE, Jarryd aka Fatty Acid as in the bassline you FOOL

Esoteric Generation.......

2007-03-30T17:37:50Z

What does Esoteric generation mean? What do we, as a decided group with one intention, hope to share with our generation. And are we, as a group, ready to work together to share these inspirations?

It's fall..... let's all let our dead leaves do just that..... fall off of us without grasping to anything but the wind, and we must let these things land where their particular gust of wind takes them, and realize that near or far, as winter comes and passes, these leaves to our trees will unite once again as part of one life, sometime more closely than others.

And this spring, wherever you are in the world, I hope your tree can help turn our forest into the blooming piece of art-in-motion we all intend to live.

I like to think we can get it, and keep it, GOA_N!

(Gotta love all the fine beers this season brings to us as well, and I'd like to thank the spiritus shanti for my drunken splurge)

Mischievia - Regional Burn

2006-08-26T13:08:40Z

Howdy yall!

This is boarhead from the NTXB.org (North Texas Burners) chimin in to give a warm welcome and a good God yall, how come it took me so long to find this group!? Our event this year is being held just South West of Texarkana (technically in Texas, specifically Hughes Springs, TX).

The event is waaaay closer to yall than most of the organizers as we are located in the Dallas/Fort Worth area (and Austin)... and is just what we were hoping for: A quad-state Regional Burn. We still haven't found any groups (solo Burners not counted, but exist) in Oklahoma or Louisiana but they GOTTA exist!

October 5-9, 2006 is the event dates. For the rest of the juicy details, checkout the website at: www.ntxb.org

Deep Fryer - Squirms of Endearment (Esoteric Gen) Here's a Nutter One!

www.esotericgen.com/Deep_Fryer-Squirms_of_Endearment.mp3

"Squirms of Endearment" is a rollicking romp though the rough-and-tumble, cartoony, boinky forest music of Scandinavia, Australia, Italy, etc. A goofy, funky, slurp-a-thon not to be dodged.

Attention VJ's/Visual Artists!!!!

2006-08-11T04:53:49Z

Twisted D.U.O. (located in Las Vegas, NV) is looking for original video footage to be featured in our next multimedia promotional presentation!!! The soundtrack will be about 60 minutes of full-on and hard psychedelic trance loaded with tons of crazy samples and driven guitar riffs. All credit will be given to the original artist much like a dj's playlist. DNM Entertainment will package and promote the material as well as handed out to other party people, artists, and promoters. Original work is preferred but sampled work is also accepted. If you're interested in being part of this multimedia project and would like to us to screen your videos (no less than 30 second clips, please), please email DNM Entertainment at: dnmentertainment@earthlink.net or visit out MySpace spot: www.myspace.com/twistedduo

Fatty Acid gives a wave

2006-07-25T19:30:25Z

Whatsup everybody

Hope Soulstice was fun....glad to hear drew was there to bring the morning vibes, hope esoteric gen had a good showing to the reportedly larger crowd......

Nealism....sorry I couldn't make it secret fire...hit me up and let me know how the mission was completed....

Last, I want yall to know that I truly love each and every contributor to the esoteric generation. I hope each of you continue to look deeper into the messages that life sends us with every moment and idea, and these discoveries make you happier throughout your life, as I have learned to try and do thanks to the experiences we have shared. I am planting new roots in Missoula, and will be throwing my first party in August with the help of local dj's and promoters(friends) with the name of Three Way Mirror, which, if this event brings any freaks out of the woodwork, will be the Esoteric Gen west we've always wondered 'bout and a hell of place to visit. As far as this goes, I'm very optimistic as to creating a place for people to dance and express themselves. Someday it might even turnining into a regular trancefloor.Something we have been blessed with thanks to Caseys dreams, hard work, and as we all know, money. Driving back to Arkansas and the midwest to dance is becoming less affordable for me than throwing my own party....so here goes.

Casey....thank you so much for all you have done for each and every one of us....dancing at the hollow has truly been the best thing in my life for such a long time...and thanks again equally much for encouraging us as a collective to pick up playing trance music in order to create the sacred space that arkansas has been void of for hundreds of years. Your music takes a listener through a journey through emotion and rational and I'll never stop being inspired.

EeggahS- As the cosmic serpent bites the apple of language and gets language-twisted-twisted, you take a sip of scotch and your eyes twinkle. In other words, thanks for the lesson in shechnotamanism. See you sooner than later hopefully.

The rest, I'll be home one more short trip before August to get some stuff.....just feel as though we're loosing touch and wanted to let yall know whats goan on

Harmonizer in Hindsight

2006-05-21T19:49:33Z

I just wanted to say a few things about my experience at Harmonizer.
First and foremost it was absolutely amazing and one of the best parties out at hog ridge hollow I've ever attended. All the DJs did phenominal jobs selecting tunes that really fit thier time slots and the energy enveloping the event was some of the best I've felt at Hog Ridge.

I didnt get to run around as much as I usually do out there because I was VJing so I got a different perspective this time, but by the time Bodhisatva's set rolled around I just had to find a babysitter for the rig and go get down. I really enjoyed seeing fresh faces on the dance floor holding thier own in the morning hours like seasoned pro's, thats what its all about and those are the people I try my best to meet.

I can only imagine how hooked first timers must be after attending Harmonizer, it really embodied its name and united the hollow under a common if not nutty harmony between the music and the audience. I cant wait to get out to the hollow again and I'm so glad that I got to see all my friends many of whom I havent seen in ages, all out at the hollow to ring in the new season psy style. My head is a jumble of so many good memories, tiny fragments of hallarious morning conversation, and interesting individuals whose names I wish I could all recall.

I guess this is what keeps us going back for more though right? I mean where else can you cram pack a weeks worth of experience in less than two days. Due to this compression I feel like I'm still in the process of unfolding all of the experiences I have gained in the past 24 hours, but every fold that my mind unfolds yields another memory that reveals in some small way a new facet to the core of why I feel more a part of Esoteric Gen than anything else I've ever experienced.

So in short, I dug hanging out with you nutters and rapscallions and I love you all for bringing it fuller than any commercialized party could dream of. I never cease to be amazed with the things a few determined invidiuals can manifest, but I sure as hell love the suprises that are always in store at the next party.

Like every esoteric party, Harmonizer changed my life, I guess thats what we are all out there for, some reprogramming with your sonic stimulation. I'm still grining at the synchronicities I've experienced and the new friends I have made, trance parties are the place to meet the coolest people on the planet and every one convinces me further of this.

Anyway, I just got home and wanted to get my thoughts down before I crash for 12 hours, I'm throughly exhasted. Somehow I managed to VJ the party and get down on the floor enough to completely sap me of my energy, yet I will gladly trade that energy to get to romp around with you nutters to the craziest tracks and nuttiest mixes in the midwest.

I cant wait for the next one, and we definately need to throw together something for the core group to get together and maybe have a little fun and plan some shit out about Spectra and of course spin some cds. (or maybe even some vinyl if casey feels an old school itch coming on, which I must say was right where I was at this morning so I thank you and shagee for bringing back the classics for the new generation to groove to)

Bom Esoteric, Goa and bloodies in the morning and all that jazz

Vaxination your resident visual aide in the quest to level as many minds as possible to the possibilities of our project.

HARMONIZER: Presented by Esoteric Gen (May 20th, 2006) w/Bodhisattva 13:20 (Psy and EDM Areas)

2006-05-19T16:52:51Z

The chilly days have finally faded into prime, lush Spring once again. And once again, we sound the drums of communion and invite the tribes to reuinite and harmonize through the ancient ritual of dance. Dust off your tents and break out your stomping shoes as Esoteric Gen fires up the soundsystems and saturates the Ozarks with our signature blend of mind-bending psychedelia and intelligent electronica! We are shoving off the season with a special appearance by San Diego's own Bodhisattva 13:20! More info at ESOTERICGEN.COM

Primary Psychedelic Area:

BODHISATTVA 13:20 (Truffle Recs, Geomagnetic.TV)
<Coming from the California outdoor psy-scene with his 2nd album
hot off the press "Secrets of the Mojave", Bodhi shares a bit of sacred magic
as he twists your mind with new and unheard complex frequency function combinations.>

Deep Fryer (Esoteric Gen) { Specializing in crunchy, delirious nighttime music, he has decimated trancefloors in the US and Japan. The twilight and sunlight hours shift his style towards quirky full-on with a bonky-Scando twist. In either scenario, Deep Fryer slinks around your headspace, splashing disgustingly sick psychedelia o'er the floor.}

Fatty Acid (Esoteric Gen) {Repossessed from Missoula, Montana where he was busy planting new roots, Fatty Acid is fully prepared to raise the non-existent roof off his home turf when the moon is setting.

Freedom (Esoteric Gen) {Freedom is the guiding force behind the Esoteric Generation, beaming the intergalactic love-message that is Goa/Psytrance above frequencies available to the general populace.A psy-purist, Freedom has been evolving and adapting to his sonic environment for the past thirteen years.Fayetteville has found him rest where he continues to provide the psychic fuel which powers Esoteric Gen.}

Illectron (Esoteric Gen) {Illectron utilizes crunchy, crispy textures. Ranging from churning mechanical to stunning medlodic tunes, and even synching up broken beats and IDM, foraying into experimental territory. He has been busy organizing indoor shin-digs around Fayettville of late and helping to spread the Esoteric gospel during the colder seasons.

Shagee (Esoteric Gen) {The original mysitic of Missouri, Shagee is one of the most intensely demented psy-trance hysterics in the nation. Never one to shy away from hair-pulling, screaming fullon, Shagee engages his audience in a staring contest of the Third Eye! )

Somebodhi (Esoteric Gen) {Somebodhi you know wants to tell you about Somebodhi. When he is not climbing random objects/rock faces, Somebodhi had been known to slay dancefloors by night and provide the soothing Southern-fried psydub by the day (and sometimes vice-versa). Those with heart conditions should consult a physician before facing Somebodhi's pounding darkness.

EDM Area:

DJ SPIFF - One of Arkansas' first and finest, it is an honor to have him on the decks.
Daniel Rockwell - A man of many talents, hailing from OKC representing Flytrap and BCR!

TRUSS - One of the region's most talented DNB producers with a special set to promote his new album "Skeleton Key".
Lucio Baldomero & DJ Rasmey - Teaming up for a HipHop set, these two are not to be missed!

DJ Doohickey - Doohickey holds down a patented groove-motif consisting of heady, intelligent break beats, hazy progressive, and the occasional quirky, random bit of sonic weirdness. Doohickey is one of Esoteric Gen's most well-loved talents, with a respectable history of DJ-ing. Always AHEAD of the cutting edge, Doohickey's thick, menacing mixing style never fails to elicit a deeply meditative listening session.

EQ - One of the first and best Atmospheric/Soulful DNB DJ's in the region, EQ will play a mixture of unreleased/forthcoming and newly released tracks.

Redshift VS. Bizar - Make sure to get there early b/c WE WILL DESTROY YOU!!

As usual. this event will be held at Hog Ridge Hollow
Entry: 10$
Costumes and creative dress highly encouraged!
LEAVE NO TRACE... No dogs/no glass allowed.
COME GROOVE UNDER THE STARS!!

InterFuse 2006 Revisited

2006-05-16T17:38:23Z

InterFuse was hands down the wackiest shin-digs thus far this season. I feel TRULY BLESSED to have been able to participate in this spectacular gathering. The people I met at InterFuse were the most congenial, forthcoming, beautiful, shimmering examples of the human species I have yet to encounter! Thank you all for coming together and sharing in the collective groove. It was great to see so many faces from MAGE the previous weekend continuing the Space Program down in Missouri. We’re really gearing up for a great season collectively!!

We were blessed by the metrological powers-that-be with excellent weather devoid of rain, cyclones, typhoons, monsoons, what-have-you.

I could literally go on for HOURS describing the fantastic themed camps, artwork, workshops, etc. My heart, however, belongs to the psytrance-dance phenomenon and therefore I must elaborate on the sounds I was able to soak in over the course of the weekend:

The Decoration – Simply some of the most intricate, well-planned, visually stunning work I have seen in the MidWest. Zay and Boozer (and whoever else may have contributed) have a shockingly crisp psychedelic vision and worked together seamlessly to create a shimmering cave. I was writing around and psy-spelunking in the Hall of the Mountain King throughout the enture weekend. Cool glasswork installations, spider webs, string-art, and excellent “stained-glass-esque” multicolored tapestries. The gnome painting was especially fun. Cool added touch!

Jake aka The Goaneck – Set it off proper with some crispy, groovy full-on. Lots of sick jams off of the infamous Mechanik Castle compilations. He had the entire Mindlicker dome getting off its feet, on the launchpad, and headed for outer orbit. Really enjoyed Saturday night when the Goaneck revived the time-honored SPACE HELMET, complete with new antennae structures, stacked fat and tuned in to absorb the lions-share of the intergalactic radiowaves.

Kaiser Soze and S.O.T – Scott-on-the-Dot and the Synchronous Oscillation Techologist were back in their element this last weekend, primed to melt the morning with their signature sonic silliness. Kaiser and Igor the Kosmonaut played some of the most wiggly, squelchy, uplifting psytrance I have had the pleasure to absorb. Thank you for making Saturday morning one of the most magnificent sun-ups to date!!

Vax – Super crunch-a-delic material! Played off of none other than “The Module”, Vax brought some slinky, chunky goodness. It was great chatting with you and discussing your international psychedelic exploits. Boom the Thailand psy-massive… Thank you for sharing your spirit and funky psy-stylings with the MidWest!!

Boozer – The man with the grin, was back once again, to spin, the most melodious blends, straight from his mystical bin. What a perfect set to call the Shakti to the Mindlicker dome following the Burn. Boozer is a shining beacon of light in a world of darkness, shimmering with that positive spirit which embodies the essence of the psytrance community. A veritable steam-engine, Boozer brims with energy and light, pushing forth the oft-forgotten positivity we all should exude in our daily lives. Thank you so much for being who you are and sharing your light with us all!

Mubali - What can be said about Greg that hasn’t already been echoed by the hundred of nutters privy to his epic sets over the past couple of weekends? This guy has a heart of gold and a never-ending sonic repertoire of sonic-slaughterhouse tracks to boot. Thanks for sharing your sounds with the MidWest massive and maintaining a super positive attitude towards the community at large. I think I speak for all of us when I say that you are a legend in your own time, with some of the best technical skills behind the decks and madhouse production.

Freedom and Shagee – After laying down several crunchy stompers after Mubali’s epic whirlwind of a set, these guys tapped into the vinyl crates and pulled out some CLASSIC Goa tunes, taking everyone back to the Source for a galactic stomp-a-thon in the AM. The highlight of the sunlight, for me, was Freedom’s decision to play Nemesis’ “Snake Dance”, complete with its Hindi wail-chants and swirly, twirly synth-driven breakdown. I am nearly brought to tears every time I hear that tune. As for Shagee, the man is simply the physical manifestation of the music, squirming and grinning and articulating every beat with his facial expressions and motions. Thanks for the cathartic emotional release, the blood, sweat, and “tears”

VJ Vaxination – Thanks for saturating the Dome with your patented blend of twisted visual stimuli. It was great to see your material being showcased out of state once again and I heard several great compliments on the eye-candy. Can’t wait to see what’s cooking for Harmonizer!!

Radim (aka the White Rabbit) – Well, I followed you… and you did not lead me astray!! The rabbit-hole was much more inviting than I had imagined. Thanks for indulging Shagee and I in the freestyle morning psy-beatbox session. Truly cathartic that was. Hope you were able to find the “hidden picture”

The Psy-o-Wa Massive (including Chris, Nick, Ryan, Dan, etc.) – I still can’t wrap my head around you guys and your collective energy level. Thanks for sharing some thought-provoking conversation and talking shop ala recent psy releases. See you all again soon!

CANNOT WAIT TO FEEL THE PERPETURAL ENERGY WHICH WILL SURELY TRICKLE SOUTH FROM THESE PAST TWO WEEKENDS!

Boom from the Ozarks!

ૐoteric Deco

2006-05-09T16:41:03Z

I was sitting here thinking about deco for upcoming parties this season and it seemed like a good idea to start a thread to encourage everyone to plunk down any ideas they may have about deco.

I know Neal, Matt, and myself are gung ho about creating tapestries.

I have a idea for a funky ass psychdelic sculpture but I still have to locate a source of cheap dayglo or blacklight paint for it.. and for the tapestries as well.

Anyway, I know you guys have some rockin ideas so lay it down

::: OUR VISION :::

This is the first of two weekend-long camping festivals The Chilluminati will be creating in 2006. Both will be held near Black River Falls, close to the heart of the psychedelic tribes of Wisconsin and those of Iowa, Minnesota, Ontario and Illinois.

The Native Americans of western Wisconsin built huge earthworks that we now know as effigy mounds. These immense forms, carved into the earth, were symbols of The Divine. Just as the tribes built their mounds, we create these parties as Cosmic Condensates. Our Music, Dance, Light and Love form a sacred structure in Space and Time, a microcosmic celebration of The Infinite.

Come join with us this year by helping us to invoke the Five Elements:
Earth - our beautiful new party location near Black River Falls is known and loved by many
Air - The Music, both Psychedelic Trance and Chill/Downtempo/Ambient, is the air we breathe.
Fire - Deco in three Dimensions: Art, Light, Projection. As well as Fire and Kinetic performances.
Water - Healers, the psychedelic people, the ambience, community, the beautiful something that you can't put your finger on...
Spirit - the Unseen, the Energy Field, Imaginal Realm Manifest

WE PROVIDE: 2 stages of sound and light, 4 days of camping in a beautiful natural environment (rain or shine), running water, bathrooms and hot showers, full vending (including alcohol for those 21+).

YOU PROVIDE : a tent, enough food and beverages for the weekend (or some cash - food and beverages will be available for sale), NO GLASS, NO DRUGS, NO PETS, NO FIREWOOD (firewood can be purchased on-site).

Vendors : Vending is $50 plus admission. We encourage vending of all kinds, but all vending proposals are subject to Chilluminati Crew approval. Please email us with your proposal: crew (AT) chilluminati (DOT) org.

camping & volunteer info TBA @ http://www.chilluminati.org

Please respect the venue by keeping the grounds free of litter. This is a LEAVE NO TRACE EVENT.

We are doing a sound camp for Interfuse. If anyone is not playing on Mindlicker that would like to play on ours that would be great - especially non-psy parts of your crew. Trying to have some balance for friends of mine that are not totally 100% psy like some of us :D Chill is good too!!

School is pretty intense. A lot of information is thrown at me daily. Home work every night. No flying for a month. Just an Instructer who likes to tell 'War Stories'. Nice guy, but boring as sin (he's 68 so most of his stories are Vietnam era).
Off base living in a hotel until quarters open up on base in a month. Nice hotel and an extra $55.00/day for Per Diem. Cah Ching!
Weekends are free unless scheduled to fly a local. Eventually I expect to have a cell phone.
Gotta go study, more later!!

Scando-Jargon! It really does exhistuh!

2006-01-10T01:51:12Z

This post has been created to proove to all the nay-sayers the undeniable existence of the Scando-Jargon phenomenon, that is, the wacky ass artist names/track titles wrought from our kindred to the (extreme) north! For example:

Squaremeat - Liukutaklaus (Astronomical Coffee Break)
Outolintu - Dance on the Dirty Dust Diva (Exogenic Rec VA Custom File)
Eraser vs Yojalka - Hattivatti (Exogenic Rec VA Custom File)
Texas Faggot - Jaateloautomaati (Petomanns Peflett)
Texas Faggot - Purkkaleiri (Pilluminati Cunt Roll)
Texas Faggot - Oikeesti (Pilluminati Cunt Roll)
Kolmiokulmiosilmio - Madot Laulaa (Exogenic Rec VA Fusion vs Confusion)
Praktika - Musiikki Vaikuttaa (Exogenic Rec VA Fusion vs Confusion)
Haltya - Groovymeisseli (Forest Flavor)
Haltya - Alas Taikavirtaa (Forest Flavor)
Grapes of Wrath - Goa Helvede Til (Parvati Recs VA Psy Stories)
Bigwigs - Fraktalik Fraterniti (Every track title = Scando-Jargon!)
1.Coder Avenza
2. Pianogra
3. Trele Morele
4. Generau Gruw
5. Pusi Intruder
6. Robot Meloman
7. Papa Gejos
8. Autotent
9. Body Louszyn
10. Zajzajer
11. Not siur jet

I know not ALL of these are Scando artists, but the Jargon remainzzzz!

Hello Arkansas Psy-Friends...

2006-01-02T17:39:37Z

Well, I'm writing to first say hello as I stumbled on your Tribe... My wife is from Fayetteville, AR but we live in Northwest Arizona... I'm a psytrance dj/producer/live pa with well over a decade experience... Anyway, between working the day job (I'm an English Teacher) and playing out extensively here in the Southwest... I find it tough to get away to see my in-laws... I've even tried taking a hiatus from playing, but my heart is too deep into the music that I often volunteer myself for other local events...

So, I've come to an epiphany... They only way my wife and I will get to travel (especially to AR)... Is through my bookings...

What I'd love to do is play for you all and throw down some West Coast Psychedelic Trance flavor for you... I'm very negociable and to play near Fayetteville downright reasonable... All I ask is a plane ticket to and from Las Vegas, NV (the nearest major airport) in recumbence of my regular travelling booking fee of $200 (plus transport)...

You can download my mixes here:
